Lionessy The chief characteristic of this invention resides in the provision of a device of this character having means for preventing the circulation of water within the boiler from disturbing thesediment within the sediment chamber and thereby. insuring the efiective collecting of the sediment while water is being fed into the boiler.

Another important characteristic of this invention resides in the provision of a device of this characterhaving a sediment receptacle which is removably associated with the boiler and which is of novel form so as to insure the removal of the sediment from the'boiler.

Another characteristic'of this invention is to provide a device. of this character which is cheap, simple, efiicient and durable in its construction and which maybe manufacturedat a nominal cost.

Other objects of the invention will appearas the specification is read in connection with the drawings in which Figure 1 is a side elevation of my device constructed in accordance with this inven= tion. Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the-same. Referring more particularly to the drawings, 1 designates the body of the boiler which is cylindrical inform-and which is accompanying composed of iron or the like. Mounted upon the lower end of the body 1 is my improved form of bottom. member 2 which is semi-. spherical in formation and which has its upper inner edge threaded to receive the end of the boiler. The upper edge of the bottom member-2 is of a reduced thickness so as to provide a shoulder 3-which is adapted toengage the end of the boiler. Interposed be"- tween the adjacent end of the boiler and the shoulder 3 is a packing ring or gasket 4 which serves tomake the joint between the boiler and'.the-=bottoztd member watertight.

extremity thereof extending through the chamber 2 while the opposite extremity terminates concentrically of the boiler and has I its end upturned as at 6. Threadedly mounted upon the upturned end 6 is a concaved de fleeting plate 7 which is preferably of disk.

formationand of a diameter equal to about one half of that of the boiler. v

Threadedly mounted upon the upper end of .the boiler is a top member "8, the top mem{ her being provided with an angular flange which is interiorly threaded to threadl v edly-engage the upper end of the boiler as Wlll be understood. To form awatertight joint'between the top member and the boiler, a copper gasket 9 is interposed be tween the inner top face of the top memher and the upper edge of the boiler: Mounted concentrically within the boiler and co-extensive withthe body of the same is an induction cold water pipe 10 which has:

one end thereof extendingthrough thetop member while the opposite end terminates in close proximity to the upturned end 6 of the discharge pipe; It will be seen from this construction. that when the cold water is introduced into the boiler through the pipe 10, and the pipe 10 having its outlet end disposed directly above the inlet end of the discharge pipe,,the cold water or rather a portion thereof will be conveyed into and through the discharge pipe 5. That portion of the water which has not been conveyed into the pipe 6 "will strike the deflecting plate 7 and will be deflected outwardly owing' to the concaved contour of the plate. It will thus beseen that the circulation of the water within the boiler will not disturbthe sediment which has accumulated in the ,seini'spherical bottom member 2..

l1 designates the sediment 1 receptacle which is of spherical formation and has its top provided with an upwardly extending extension 12 which is formed with a reduced threaded collar 13 the collar being'thread- 'edly mounted within the bottom chamber 2 and arranged centrally thereof. Thus it will will be caused to gravitate into the receptacle as will be understood. The lower side of the receptacle 11 is provided with a valve outlet 14 whereby when it is desired to re- -move the sediment from the receptacle the valve may be opened.

The cold water inunicate with the waterback of the range -(not shown) and the waterback is to be in communication with the circulating chamber of the boiler by means of the induction hot water pipe 15, the same preferably entering I the boiler at a point above-the deflecting "plate 7. As is usual in the construction of range boilers, the hot water discharge pipe '16 is located iii the top member, whereby it will be seentfiat the cold water induction ipe 10 will be in circuit communication with the hot water discharge pipe 16.

In order to support the boiler in vertical position, I have provided the underside of i the bottom chamber 2 with projections 17 which are arranged in spaced intervals.

In the present instance I have shown three of these PIOjOCtIOIIS GHCh of which is. formed with horizontally extending dovetailed grooves 18. Mounted in each of the grooves 18 are spider legs 19, their upper extremities being formed with a tongue 20 which is adapted to fit within the grooves 18, as will be understood. To accommodate the sediment receptacle 11 between the legs, the legs are curved longitudinally in opposite directions and will at the same time rigidly support the boiler in vertical position.

It is thought from the foregoing taken in .connection with the accompanying drawings that the construction and operation of my -device will be apparent to those skilled in the art without further description, that minor changes in the size, shape and minor details of construction may be made without Copies of this patent may be obtained for discharge pipe 5 is to comfor the purpose described.

departing from the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

What I claim is:

1. In combination with a boiler a sediment chamber mounted upon the lower end of the boiler, a cold water induction pipe extending into the boiler, a cold water discharge pipe extending into the boiler at a point above the sediment chamber and having one end thereof terminating adjacent the inner end of the induction pipe, and a deflecting plate mounted upon the end of the discharge pipe for the purpose described.

2. In combination with a boiler having a semi-spherical bottom member, a cold water induction pipe vertically arranged within the boiler, a sediment chamber communicating with the said bottom member, a cold water discharge pipe arranged within the bottom member and having its one end thereof arranged in vertical alinement with the said induction pipe and a deflecting plate mounted on the said end of said discharge pipe 3. In combination with a boiler, having a top and a bottom member removably connected therewith, a cold water induction pipe extending through the top member and into the boiler, a cold water discharge pipe arranged within the bottom chamber and extending transversely thereof, and having its inlet end disposed in vertical alinement with an outlet end of said induction pipe, and a concave deflecting plate mounted upon the said end of the discharge pipe for the purpose described.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signatur in presence of two witnesses. a
